Sections 9.1 – 9.3Valence Bond TheoryHybrid OrbitalsSigma and Pi Bonding
Chemical Bonding Theories Valence Bond Theory: Uses Lewis Structures Bonds form using shared electrons between overlapping orbitals on adjacent atoms. Orbitals arrange around central atom to avoid each other. Two types of bonds: sigma and pi. Molecular Orbital Theory: Uses MO Diagrams Orbitals on atoms “mix” to make molecular orbtials, which go over 2 or more atoms. Two electrons can be in an orbital. Orbitals are either: bonding, antibonding, or nonbonding. Bonds are either: sigma or pi.
Sigma (s) Bonding Orbitals on bonding atoms overlap directly between bonding atoms Between s orbitals Between s and p orbitals Between p orbitals
Sigma (s) Bonding Consider VSEPR Shapes and bonding:
What’s wrong with this picture? Atoms bond by having their valence orbitals overlap
2pz 2px 2py 2s Orbitals in CH4 Orbitals on C Orbitals don’t go in same directions as atomic orbitals. Conclusion: Atomic orbitals change shape when they make molecules.
Hybrid Orbitals Atomic valence orbitals “combine and mix” to form new “Hybrid Orbitals” Hybrid orbitals go in the VSEPR electron geometry directions.
Bond angles
Sigma vs. Pi Bonding sigma Bonding involves: -- hybrid orbitals -- H 1s orbitals -- terminal atom p orbitals pi bonding involves unhybridized p orbitals
sigma bond formation Orbitals overlap directly between two nuclei:
Advanced: Allene Each end carbon is a flat trigonal. Are they co-planar or perpendicular?
Conformations vs. Isomers • Isomers: Molecules with same formula but different structure • Conformers: Different temporary shapes of the same molecule
Bond Rotations • CAN happen around single bonds • Cannot happen around double bonds
cis-trans Isomerization When two groups are on a “side” of a molecule. cis trans
